1180 71st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228

1180 71st Street is a two-story, 4-unit residential building located in Brooklyn's Dyker Heights neighborhood, constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Tony Safonte. The building, classified as a New Law Tenement, has experienced several notable events over the past several years.

Between 2018 and 2020, there were multiple complaints regarding potential illegal conversions, with four separate incidents reported between January 2019 and August 2019, though in all cases, inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. In December 2019, two additional complaints were filed regarding unpermitted work, resulting in an Oath Violation being served. An environmental control board violation was issued in December 2019 regarding improper front yard planting requirements, though this was subsequently resolved with a $250 penalty.

Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with the most recent bedbug reports from 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020 showing no infestations, eradications, or re-infestations in any of the units. This consistent history of having no bedbug issues over multiple reporting periods suggests effective pest management practices. While the building has experienced some regulatory challenges in the past, particularly in late 2019 regarding permits and front yard maintenance, these issues appear to have been addressed and resolved through the appropriate channels.
